Intoxicated

I am intoxicated!

No, it's not booze and it's not the 30 mile bike / 10k run brick workout on Saturday morning. Nor is it the 6:41 pace/mile at the Thomas G. Labrecque Classic 4-miler on Sunday.

It's the smell of new Asics shoes. Go ahead and stick your nose in... I know you want to and I know you've done it too.

Take a deep breath and inhale the possibility, inhale the speed, inhale victory!

"Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odour."

i second that!! i just got a pair of the brand-spanking new Cumuluses and I think they are gonna be my new favorite shoe :)

Nice job Sunday-and I think I spotted you again before the start!! One of these days, we are actually gonna have to say hi to each other...

Somehow I don't think Hugo was talking about... shoes! ;)

Just visiting from Just Run.

Uh, no thanks, but I'll take the 6:41 pace if you're giving that away.

Better to smell new shoes than shoes after a race...just catching up on your blog. Loved the baby blurb!
